McElroy is a 5-10 G from Trinity Valley CC. When she graduated from Dallas Richardson in 2016, she was the 62nd overall ranked player and the 18th ranked PG. She originally signed with Texas A&M for the 2016-17 class. She should be eligible to play this season.

Kansas makes the final three for 6-0 W Aijha Blackwell.

 

WVU loses 6-5 frosh post Rochelle Norris to ACL during the summer. That leaves 6-6 Sr. C Theresa Ekhelar as the only C on the team. The two players currently eligible that are taller than 6-0 are frosh Jala Jordan (6-2 F) and Kari Niblack (6-1 F) unless transfer De'Janae Boykin (6-2 Jr. F) is granted immediate eligibility to play this season.

 

Rough summer for Big 12 freshman centers.

 

Coming soon, a decision of interest to Tech and TCU coaches.

 

She could be. More than just the fact that she’s a really good player is that she’s going to play a lot of minutes because of that need. The majority of the other freshmen in the conference are playing on teams where they won’t get the same amount of playing time right away.

 

Seems like BU's Morris is enrolled at BU and will sit out this year (RS?) with the option to return for next season to complete her college career. Discussion about this begins about halfway down page four.

Not sure why Ejiofor transferred from her “dream school” but I am sure that Coach Carey is quite happy to sign her.

Tennessee forward Lou Brown suffered a torn ACL in preseason practice, coach Holly Warlick announced Friday.

Brown, a graduate transfer from Washington State, is out indefinitely after suffering the injury Wednesday.

"While she may be out of action due to this unfortunate injury, I would not be surprised to see Lou still find a way to impact this team in a positive manner as she goes through the recovery process," Warlick said in a statement.

Brown, a 6-foot-3 forward from Melbourne, Australia, started 23 games for Washington State last season and averaged 6.4 points and a team-high 6 rebounds.

 

In a best case scenario, at the end of the season, people without ties to Texas are asking how Sug was left off.
